Software update on my 1.9cdti 150

Following on from my previous thread where my motor went into limp mode after running like a bag of spanners, I have now received the car back from Vx today. They ran a diagnostic check which came back with 'PO203 cyl3 injector circuit open' (and a couple of others which were apparantly old). All they then did was run a software update on the car and it now runs like a new one. The old 'judder' and slight misfire around 1500 rpm has dissapeared and it hasnt run this well since I first bought it. I am confused at how a simple update could sort a problem like this, I am not convinced it wont return, as surely if there is a problem with the injector wiring, then there is a problem and that is that, why would an update sort the problem ?

I'm not complaining mind I thought I'd be forking out more than £65 !!!

Any thoughts ?? Thanks !!

Sounds very much like the no 3 injector connection problem as the member above has said - can't see that a software update would solve the problem (although it won't do any harm) - they have probably cleaned the connection with contact cleaner which has improved the connection. I would take the cover off the top of the engine and have a look - the old type connectors are yellow the replacements are blue
